When British design and technology come together, something special happens. This time, Bowers & Wilkins donned the McLaren racing jacket and created the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 McLaren Edition – wireless headphones that are not only stylish, but also sonic beasts.
Toshiba introduces the AX-RP10(W), an ultra-portable turntable that combines retro aesthetics with wireless freedom. All you need is a cowboy hat.
Marshall has added a new color scheme to its top-of-the-line Marshall Woburn III model – brown. And while the speaker is the same on the inside, the outside is now more retro than ever. The best part? It still roars with 150 watts of power.
Danish audio luxury meets Italian stonemason glamour — and the result is the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Balance speaker, which sounds great and looks like it just escaped from a modern art museum.
If you own Sony's WH-1000XM5, then you know what it's like to live in your own sound bubble: legendary active noise cancellation (ANC), fantastic soundstage, and thoughtful features that rival brands are still trying to copy. So the question is: Why would Sony even upgrade something so good and create the Sony WH-1000XM6?
Buying new headphones these days is almost as complicated as finding the perfect balance: you want them to look good, to “hear” you, to be able to silence the world around you… and not cost you half your monthly rent. Of course, you can choose the first AirPods that catch your eye (and out of your ear), or you can venture into a more sophisticated world, where 200 euros still means quality, and not just “luxury at a sale price”. In this zone of “audio comfort” – that is, between 100 and 200 euros – there are unexpectedly many sonic treasures hidden. But, as always, not all headphones are born equal. Some are masterfully balanced, others are irresistible in design, and still others simply stubbornly insist on a 100-hour battery life as if this is completely normal.
Vinyl record straightener. Vinyl enthusiasts, rejoice – Pro-Ject has introduced the Flatten It, a device for straightening curled vinyl records that costs almost as much as a decent turntable. But hey, nothing is too expensive for a true love of analog sound, right?
With the new update, Apple is delivering what it has long promised for the first time: lossless audio, zero latency, and spatial audio that is no longer just a marketing gimmick. But... is this enough to make the AirPods Max 2 2025 a tool and not just a fashion accessory?
When industrial designer Antonio Meze realized over a decade ago that the headphone market wasn’t offering anything that would satisfy his sophisticated taste in sound and design, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Thus was born the Meze Audio brand, which quickly established itself as one of the most respected in the audiophile world. In 2015, they impressed with the Meze 99 Classics model, and the turning point came with the Empyrean, the first high-end planar-magnetic headphones that left the competition far behind – both in quality and price. This time, Meze Audio presents the POET.
If you've ever owned a Sonos speaker, you know: once you're in their ecosystem, there's no going back. Sonos is like that cool guy in the crowd who never tries too hard, but still always comes across as superior. And the Sonos Move 2 continues that tradition – it's a speaker that's both smart enough for the living room and rugged enough for the patio, balcony, weekend getaway, or a spontaneous road trip. But... is it really portable? Well, yes. If portable means carrying something around with a fair amount of willpower and dedication.
